September Birchbox

I have said this a number of times, but I LOVE getting mail. Whether it is a letter from my best friend, birthday cards, or my Birchbox, I always get excited when I see something in the mail that isn't a bill. Those aren't fun, let's face it!

This month was stellar, and they gave me products that I will definitely use, and can’t wait to try out! Like always, once I use these products enough, I will definitely give you my thoughts.  Here’s what was in my box this month!

Harvey Prince| Ageless Liquid Loofa: I am such a HUGE fan of Harvey Prince fragrances, that I am so excited to try this! It has a clean scent, and not overpowering at all!

Macadamia Professional| Healing Oil Spray: This is said to block UV rays, and be quick absorbing. I am excited to try this, because you know I love me some hair products!!

Mereadesso| All In One Moisturizer: This is an "anti-aging day/night cream, serum, eye cream, toner, and primer" in one. With all of that, it had better be good!!

Pixi| Shea Butter Lip Balm: I received the shade honey nectar. This feels moisturizing, and is tinted just enough to give me some sheen on my lips.

Temptu| S/B Highlighter in Champagne Shimmer: During the upcoming holiday season I can definitely see myself using this! This is a liquid shimmer that will give you an all over glow.

This was a nice treat!
The Birchbox find this month was from Chapstick! (Mandii likes it when she gets 2 lip products in her box!) Chapstick Hydration Lock Day and Night. This is a dual ended stick that has SPF 12 for the daytime and different types of "plant butters, antioxidants, and tamanu oil" to repair lips overnight.

Overall, this month was SPECTACULAR! If you haven't jumped on the Birchbox train yet, you can use my referral link to sign up!

What kinds of treats did you get in your Birchbox this month? I'd love to know! Go ahead, leave me a comment!

Cooking for a Crowd: Spaghetti Sauce

My family likes to save money when we have parties. One way to do so is to cook everything ourselves, instead of hiring a caterer. Today, I wanted to give you a recipe for spaghetti sauce that will feed a crowd. This recipe is best made in an 18 quart roast pan. We bought most of our sauces and tomato paste at Costco. Ingredients: 2 onions 3 cans diced tomatoes 2 #10 cans of tomato sauce 1 #10 can on spaghetti sauce 1 heaping tsp of garlic minced 2 (28 oz) cans of crushed tomatoes 4 (6 oz) cans of tomato paste 1 tsp sugar Onion and garlic salt, italian seasoning, parsley, oregano to taste 1 pound of each: ground meat, hot and sweet sausage Look at the deliciousness!  In a skillet brown your meat and sausage in a little oil. Once browned place off to the side. Combine your onions, garlic, diced tomatoes, and crushed tomatoes. *Sweat your onions down first, then add the garlic. Then your tomatoes.* Open your tomato sauces and spaghetti sauces (w...

Christmas/New Year's Recap

First, I just want to say that I have absolutely no pictures from Christmas. I'm terrible, I know. In my defense, I was sick all through Christmas and just wasn't feeling "it." I do however, have pictures of some of the gifts I received and New Year's. Christmas Eve dinner was hosted by my parents and I. We had lasagna, wedding soup, salad, bread, and Italian butter. I made a homemade alfredo sauce to go along with the lasagna. I also made the Italian butter, and attempted to make my homemade French bread. This year, the bread did not turn out. For dessert, I made white chocolate raspberry shooters. They were SO good! I will do a recipe on those when I make them again! After everything was cleaned up, we honestly just relaxed. I would have liked to have gone to Christmas Eve service at our church, but I was coughing, clearing my throat every 5 minutes, and blowing my nose every 10. I was a hot mess. My grandparents came back out to our house after church and w...
